You're trying to compare a small town in Texas terms (which is probably a VERY small town to someone who comes from where I do)'s ethnic cuisine to NYC?
Edit: I just looked up restaurants in that town. I see like 4 Dominos, one or 2 italian restaurants (nothing like what you'll find in Little italy in the Bronx, not Manhattan), Mexican, chinese, 6 dairy queens, and 3 cracker barrels. Yeah, places you'll find anywhere in podunk USA.
Wow, Im not sure where you got that Im comparing a small town to NYC. But you're going to wind up embarrassing NYS if you dont start paying attention to the actual content in my posts before you respond to them.
Im comparing a RELATIVELY small town in Texas to what in your own words you refer to as NYS's 3 largest cities (large in NYS terms )...two of which only have a couple of hundred thousand people - those being Rochester and Buffalo AKA "Podunk USA's"...lmao...so yes I am comparing a tiny Texas town of 100,000 to 2 of NYS's "largest" cities...lol
That's just Tyler. A small town. That's like comparing Tyler to Watertown NY. You can find all those ethnic foods in Houston, Dallas, Austin, or San Antonio. And the same way you can find better Italnian food in NYC, you can find better Cajun and Mexican food in Houston. There is nothing in NYC that you can't find anywhere else in the US.
Exactly!...my point wasnt even to compare a tiny town to NYC...the point is exactly what you just stated: you can find ethnically diverse foods really ANYWHERE...and yes even in a small town. As much as I love so many different kinds of foods, access to ethnic cuisine is so grossly overrated for the purposes in which it is being used in this thread. Its just not that big a deal...I dont think it even crosses most Houstonians, or Dallasites or Austinites minds that ethnic and regional cuisine should be some greatly revered commodity. Its just SO commonplace, why make a deal out of it?...lol

I don't think Dominos, Dairy queens, and Mexican restaurants are very diverse. Ignoring NYC, I think Syracuse, Buffalo, and Albany offer more ethnic cuisines than that

Ok, um you choose to ignore the places that offer authentic Italian (Carino's, for one), the Chinese, and Japanese resturants, and the Cajun Seafood restaurants in addition to the Mexican, Barbque and yes even DAIRY QUEEN......thats like me skimming through the internet after Googling Syracuse and noticing that they have a Pizza Hut there and saying "OH see there all they have is a Pizza Hut" ...come on, be realistic...I dont even know why we are still talking about the small town thing...I expressly stated, that was an ad hoc reference made to illustrate how ridiculous using ethnic cuisine as a barometer for the quality of a state is. Hell, I even acknowledge that there is nothing to Tyler really...and it STILL has roughly comparable diversity of ethnic cuisine that you claim 2 of NYS's "largest" cities have.
p.s. - Is that a "talk to the hand"?...lmao!...Oooh no! dont tell me NYS is stuck in the 90's too...lol

Uh, yeah...last year I went to Bermuda and Puerto Rico. The year before that, Las Vegas. I also go to Florida 3 times a year, and have been going every year since I was 14. You're talking to someone who spends like 2 months of the year traveling...lol.

Then that means city-data is stuck in the 90s, not me.
I'll pass on "authentic" Texas italian food...just like how i'm sure you would pass on NY bbq food. It goes both ways. No big deal.
Just to compare, here's a list of 225 restaurants in Syracuse. I think they offer more than Dallas or Houston--

2 months of traveling but have never been to Ca or Tex? right?
